There are many factors within this image that have caught my attention. First of all the macro masterfully executed with the outline full of spectacular bokeh and the use of only two colors, complementary moreover, which give the image a unique charm. It is an original and unique shot, deserving of 1st place .... absolutely!

Someone can say that this image has too strong saturation, but for my competition of "Spectacular Reflections" it is perfect. Two complementary colors (orange and blue) make the image interesting and pleasant. The almost white mountains give a final shot of visual attraction. Congratulations for the shot and excellent post production.

I really enjoyed this shot for the contrast between light and dark, for the subject so fascinating, for the composition made with grace. A certain importance also has the post production that has created a strong contrast between the background and the subjects. I also appreciated a delicate and picturesque reflection worthy of a position in my winners list.

There are many things that struck me in this image: the choice of minimalism which is very effective (probably the disturbing elements have been eliminated), only two essential colors where orange plays a fundamental role and the subject certainly very captivating (three monks Buddhists and the Eastern Structure). Congratulations on an excellent post production.

A beautiful Italian landscape with balanced colors in post production. Excellent post production. I really love photos that eliminate some disturbing colors and leave only two or three colors needed. As also in this case where we only see a dark green (almost gray) and golden yellow which gives this image a lot of light.
